Our guest on this episode is Mark Roseman, the author of Lives Reclaimed: A Story of Rescue and Resistance in Nazi Germany. We discuss the Bund, a close-knit group that worked together to save lives in Nazi Germany, the ideas of “functionary” and “perpetrator,” the Wannsee Conference, and much more.

Alen speaks with architectural historian and filmmaker, Anna Ulrikke Andersen, visiting scholar at Vanderbilt. Anna discusses her research on a rehabilitation center in Montenegro frequented by Norwegians with rheumatic illnesses by the request of their medical doctor, plus her work on architect Christian Norberg-Schulz. Alen reflects on his failed attempts to reach the Mediterranean, raising questions about “being there” versus “trying” to be there and draws connections to rehabilitation.
